The development of a theory of international cultural relations can be traced back to Benjamin Schwartz's study of Yan Fu (In Search of Wealth and Power: Yen Fu and the West, Harvard University Press, 1964). Yan Fu translated some of the 19th century Western European works into Chinese as a way for China's modernization. To analyze Yan Fu's cultural struggles, Schwartz applied a path-breaking methodological framework, defining a culture to be "a vast, ever-changing areas of human experience" and proposing to deal with the encounter between two cultures as a vantage point for taking a new look at both cultures. After reading the Schwartz's work carefully and translating it into Japanese, this author formulated a theory of international cultural relations that considers cultural contacts and changes themselves to be important aspects of international relations.

This paper takes an overview of the features of the concept Chinese Muslim piety from the Chinese Islamic classics written in the early modern age, and considers the relationship between Chinese Islam and Confucianism, the traditional thought of China. Chinese Muslims value piety, but in accordance with the traditional Confucianist scriptures of China, especially "The Doctrine of the Mean". At that time, Islam replaces the Heaven expounded by Confucianism with God. I have pointed out the fact that their valuing of piety comes from a consciousness of being the people who carry on Chinese tradition. I have also submitted the hypothesis that, although ancestral rituals and religious services were performed in a manner that lacked a mortuary tablet, might not China- Arabia calligraphy have been used as a substitute for that tablet?
